Yesterday carted to Southern Oaks, played 18, drove to Sumter Landing, then to Spanish Springs, then home. No range issues. 55-60 miles and still had 45% battery reserve. Quieter, more torque, zero smell. Gas is the past. Go ⚡️

I have a 210 Amp Electric (which is as large as generally available).
I couldn't come close to making the trip as described, unless maybe if I drove the cart at 5 MPH. There's not a human alive, who could stand to drive a golf cart from OB to Southern Oaks, at 5 mph.
OBH to Southern Oaks is 16 miles each way + 7 miles to play a round of golf. At a cruising speed of 20 mph to get there and back, I'd be sweating out the ride home. I'd sure as hell not have enough charge to include a side trip to Brownwood and still have almost 50% charge left, when I got home.
